Part 2
This is a good picture that shows an example from the Great Depression because it shows an old shop in the middle of rather normal town. I also think this a good picture for the Great Depression because it shows what a town would be like, without all races being chased around the town, just like a cat and mouse game between the African Americans and the white folk. I also think this a good picture because it shows a run-down little shop in the middle of a town during the Great Depression.

Observe:
2) At first glance, I notice a run-down grocery store that seems to not have much business at the time. It seems to be a store called McCollum Grocery Co.
4) The door seems to be on the far right of the store, and there seems to be a neighboring store to the right.
6) On the sign, I noticed the name of the store, that is McCollum Grocery Co. Reflect:
2) Nothing seems to be going on in the photo; nothing but a deserted grocery store.
3) This photo was taken during the Great Depression, because you don't often see stores constructed from wood in the modern day.
9) If this was the same area in the modern day, I don't think that it would be the same because it would need renovations so it won't get wrecked. Questions:
2) What was the business like when it had business? Was it a popular destination, or just a small store in the town?
3) When was this building constructed?
4) Where is this photo taken? Observe:
2) I observe that there are multiple buildings on this road. The road seems to have no cars.
4) The first building on the right, at first site, seems to be an apartment. The rest of the buildings seem to be little houses.
6) I cannot see anything that can be read in this photo. Reflect:
2) The street seems to be desolate with nothing going on at the time.
3) The photo seems to be taken in the Great Depression because it is black and white, and it looks like a very old neighborhood.
9) If this was the same area in the modern day, I think everything would be different because these houses might be wrecked by disaster or someone took them down, or wanted to build a new building in that area. Questions:
2) What were these buildings' purposes? Were they apartments?
3) When was this photo taken, and when were these buildings made?
4) Where is this photo taken and what was the address for this street? Observe:
2) I observe a man pushing what seems to be an old car that no longer works through the town.
4) There seems to be an intersection with lots of buildings, along with a man pushing a car.
6) There are no words to observe in the photo. Reflection:
2) In this picture, a man is pushing a vehicle through the streets to help another citizen.
3) The photo seems to be from the Great Depression because back then, they never really had tow trucks to help you out if your vehicle broke down, so you had to push it yourself.
9) If this was here in the modern day, this probably would all be renovated, and much more busy. Questions:
1) Who is pushing the vehicle?
2) What was the model of the jeep that was being pushed in the picture?
4) What town is this during the Great Depression? Observe:
2) This seems to be a storefront from the Great Depression. It looks like a grocery store.
4) There seems to be some food inside the glass of the store, with some advertisements in the front of the store on the glass window.
6) There seems to be a sign with the name on the window. It reads McCollum Grocery Co. Reflection:
2) In this photo, there is a storefront of a grocery store on the streets of a town.
3) This photo seems to be from the Great Depression because it has the old writing font they would use on the storefront windows during that time.
9) If this was here during the modern era, it would probably be the same store, but with new renovations. Questions:
1) Who owns this store? Is his or her store popular and get lots of business?
5) Why isn't this store bigger in size, so they can fit in more people and more room to put items?
6) How was business when people would go into the store to buy goods? Observe:
2) There seems to be some children in front of their house. These people seem to be white.
4) There seems to be 4 children, 3 girls, and 1 boy. It seems to be an old house in the background, also.
7) I can see a gate and fence surrounding the porch, and their lawn in the background. Reflection:
2) In this photo, there are four children standing on a porch.
3) This photo seems to be from the Great Depression because the children are wearing old clothing from that time in history.
9) I don't think that this would still be here because the children would've been out of the house. Questions:
1) Who owns this house, and what are the names of the children?
5) Why is the house porch seem to be like it's another room of the house, considering the size of it?
6) How was life growing up in that house and how were the children's lives? Observe:
2) There seems to be 3 old people in front of a house. They are all African American.
4) There is 2 men, one with a cane, one sitting down, and one lady with a hat sitting down on a small bench.
7) I can see a small little house, seems to have a few windows when you are taking a glance from the front yard. Reflection:
2) In this photo, there are 3 old people in front of an old house, that is constructed from wood.
3) This photo seems to be from the Great Depression because the house seems to be old, and the people are separated from the white folk.
9) I don't think the building would still be there because the white people, with their hatred for the blacks, would've probably burnt it down. Questions:
1) Who owns the house, and who are the people in front of the house, and what are there names?
5) Why is the porch in front of the house seem to be small, mainly in size?
6) How is the condition of this house during that time period?
The 1930's was not only a time of stress between the whites and blacks, but it was also a time for reforms, and for many changes. People took many jobs that they couldn't afford to do just to keep up with the average family. People had to work around the clock just to help the family funds. The white people tried, in every way they could, to get rid of the blacks. Getting money was very rough for most, and those who had money, wouldn't help out other people that are desperate for lots of money so they can maintain a healthy family. Just as Alice Caudle worked as a mill worker, there were many tough spots for people during the great depression. Anna Novak was a packing house worker, and so was Jim Cole. Clyde 'Kingfish' Smith had one of the worst jobs, which was street cleaner. All of these people had to work really hard for their family. Part 3 Part B
The person interviewed was Sallie Smith Bell. She was a radio drama pioneer. She was white, she was female, and was 93 when she died in 2007. The interview was put into a newspaper called "Special to the Tribune". The date of the interview was May 15th, 2007. The person that interviewed Sallie was Patricia Trebe, a news writer for a newspaper. She lived a very long life, dying at the age of 93. She was a very good worker when she was around, and did commercials for WGN, along with being a person for radio. She was able to survive the Great Depression, even under the conditions of needs to work around the clock, no matter what the job was, just to make a living out of what she did.
Part 4
After reading all this information about the Great Depression, I decided to make a poem. But before I go into that, I have a connection to go into. This is just like working in other countries, such as Africa, because there are a lot of bad conditions for working, and almost everyone had to work for a living. I find this similar to the Great Depression because both of these places and times had very unstable working conditions, and everyone needed to work. I also find these two alike because you had to work extremely long and hard to keep food on the table for your family. POEM:
Alas, here is the start of the day,
But as I get ready,
I stop to think about my life.
Oh, what horrors,
Come along with this time of my life.
I don't want to work,
But if I don't
It won't help my family,
So, as my daily routine comes apon me,
I must go to work,
And work for my family.
